Don Rosa albums is also a great idea!

But at least he doesn't comes up will ridiculous stuff
like in Marco Rota's story about Donald's life when
Donald comes out of an egg laid by an ordinary
wild-duck in a nest which is blown down from a tree
during a storm.

It think because he invented the Duck-universe as we
know it.

Really? Why are they less popular then?

I think because he has revitalized the Duck-universe
and at least my interest for it.

I think that last sentence is the worst bullshit I've
ever seen on DCML so far. Anyone doing great comics
should off course be encouraged to continue doing so!

There has been published more Rosa-stuff in other
countries (like Finland, Germany, Netherlands, etc.)
than in Scandinavia. So why shouldn't Norwegian,
Swedish and Danish fans have the same right to se the
stories of their great idol in proper publications?

I would like to see good Rosa books/albums in stead of
all the re-prints of lousy stories from the 80's.

Sigvald :-)
